Joe Flacco Says It's Not His Job To Mentor Drew Lock

Dana Schwartz

"Drew is going to learn from listening to him talk, and then all of us getting reps on the field and seeing how we all do it as a collective group and as a quarterback". Because that means we're out there and we're slinging it around and having a lot of fun. There are so many of these going on and are happening so often that we have to hashtag them to get the information to the people on that specific shooting.

"I hope he does learn from me", Flacco said, "because that means we're out there lighting it up". In the meantime, it's perfectly fair for Flacco to get protective of his job. He's willing to lead by example and he's certainly not rooting for Lock to fail, but he understands that the coaching staff is ultimately responsible for grooming the young quarterback.

"That's on Drew to soak in and learn". Joe's learning a new system himself.

Asked Monday about any possible motivation from the addition of Lock, Flacco acknowledged it was at least somewhat of a factor.

"I'm not a selfish person, I don't think", Flacco said. The 49ers weren't calling it a rebuild, but that's what it was; journeyman quarterback Brian Hoyer was brought in to lead the QB room and Shanahan drafted C.J. Beathard in the 3rd round. And that's how you can develop. "I'm trying to go out there and play good football", veteran quarterback says. I'm trying to go out there and play the best football of my life.

Parents' outrage over photo of teachers posing with noose
Royal said she called the school immediately after seeing the photo. "They had the audacity to show up today", she says. Prior to this incident, one teacher at the school said that the predominately white faculty has been a problem.

Nonetheless, Broncos general manager John Elway said last month he believes Flacco, at age 34, is "a guy coming into his prime". That is what it is. Listen, I hope he does learn from me.

"I don't look at that as my job", Flacco told reporters after the Denver Broncos' first day of organized team activities.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio on Sunday gave several updates on how the first of the team's dozen OTA practices would go beginning Monday, explaining the veteran quarterback will take all of the repetitions with the first team.

The defence was once again missing star cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who's been working out in Dallas while awaiting a new contract, a situation that grew dicey with Xavien Howard's resetting the market with a five-year, $76.5 million deal last week.

Flacco won Super Bowl 47 with Baltimore but has been inconsistent in years since.
